Well all, I just got back last night from my bi-annual trip over to the 24
Hours of Le Mans and to spend a week in and around Paris. From a first hand
perspective, I have to say the R10's were absolutely incredible machines to
watch. Whisper quiet around the track, and their acceleration power out of
the turns was most impressive. The ACO announced while I was there
(actually during the race) that there were going to be new regulations on
Diesel powered vehicles next year thanks to Audi's incredible achievements
(go figure).
Peugeot has also announced that they will be fielding a P1 diesel powered
prototype next year.
Got to see the R10 up close during the Pit walk on Friday night and to see
it up close was equally as impressive as watching it tearing up the track
for the 21 hours that I was able to stay up.
If anyone has any questions, I'll be glad to answer them.
Kyle
